On February 22, join thousands of Christian business professionals across the country for a 1-day livestream event to hear from experts on connecting your faith and work.

Last year Work As Worship gathered with over 13,000 business professionals across the country for a full 1-day retreat to hear from experts, be encouraged, and discuss how to connect our faith and work.

We would love for you to be a part of our next Work as Worship Retreat!

When a Kingdom Leader engages in a Kingdom Style, a Kingdom Culture emerges… and the Kingdom of God advances!

Do you desire to see God’s Kingdom advance more effectively through your business or ministry? Every leader and team need an intentional plan to see transformation take place in their business. This workshop is designed to equip you and your leadership team to BUILD THAT PLAN!

Whether you are a part of the leadership team of a brand-new venture, or a seasoned group of leaders in an established business or ministry, we want to invite you to join us! In a round table-style format, you will be inspired by veteran leaders, encouraged with miraculous testimony, and equipped to experience the reality of the Kingdom at work in your organization.

This workshop will provide fresh content, as well as creative opportunities for you to attend multiple breakout sessions!

Make it a priority to attend with your leadership team. If you are a business owner without a leadership team, consider bringing your spouse with you!

How do you determine if a business is successful? Is it reflected in a positive balance sheet, gleaming customer reviews, or a charismatic CEO? What if God measured success by a broader standard—by the way businesses help every employee, supplier, consumer, or community they touch thrive?

Hear from keynote Jay Jakub, author of Completing Capitalism: Heal Business to Heal the World, corporate executives, innovators, and policy-makers as we explore the intrinsic role business plays in God’s world.

SERVICE DAY INFORMATION:

There are many things to be done in this building to support Senior Support Services. Volunteer by doing some building, painting, and organizing to help utilize the building which is beyond capacity.

The Lion Project has been collecting a team of movers & shakers in the community to see if they can help Senior Support Services get into a new building to serve more. If this is something you’d like to help with, email Zak@thelionproject.org.

THE ORGANIZATION:

Senior Support Services started back in the 70s when the downtown housing market was similar to it is now…. too expensive for many elders as they were pushed toward motels, shelters, and the streets. Right now, Senior Support Services is seeing a 20% increase in clients every year and as executive director, Ted Pascoe, says, they are bursting at the seems. And they are.

The program staff is amazing. They love our homeless elders and their staff exhibits a beautiful balance of gentle love and tough boundaries.

Help accelerate the growth of this organization. These clients are relying on them and they need the community to help meet these growing needs. See their promotional video on the Senior Support Services Campaign page.

LOOKING TO OFFER YOUR SKILLS/NETWORK/RESOURCES:

Can you help find money for a new building? Got a unique connection or skill that would benefit this project? Or would you like to contribute financially to help The Lion Project go bigger and better? You can donate here.

Senior Support Services is Denver’s only day center for hungry and homeless seniors. The day center is a safe place to spend time, socialize with others, and participate in activities.

Welcoming Communities in partnership with L&R Pallet and several of Colorado's Refugee services invite you to join us in celebrating the economic contributions of Refugees in our communities!

World Refugee Day 2018 is on June 20th. This is an annual event, held on the same date each year, and 2018 is the 18th year of the event, run by the United Nations Refugee Agency, to state that the world supports and stands with refugees. The event is about raising global awareness of global responsibility for refugees.

World Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster.

Refugees are vulnerable and in need, and are often misunderstood and maligned, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold, hunger, trauma, despair, disease, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help.

Across the world, agencies, both governmental and non-governmental, work tirelessly to help refugees, but with people being made refugees daily, more help and awareness is constantly needed, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for, rather than being neglected or shunned, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

**NOTE: the rice haul relay is an 8-person group activity. Feel free to recruit & bring your own team or we'll match you up with one day of! This event is included in the general ticket! **

More About Betenbough Homes & Their Spiritual Impact

In 2017 Betenbough Homes was ranked as the #1 home builder in western Texas and among the top 100 in the nation, with annual revenues around 160 million.

Perhaps even more noteworthy is the significant care and ministry programs the Betenboughs have developed for their team members and broader community that has transformed countless lives.

Their spiritual leadership caught notice of other national church and business leaders and was highlighted at the 2016 Global Leadership Summit, hosted by the Willow Creek Association, where the following “Grander Vision” was shown to over 250,000 leaders around the world.

Needless to say Rick is a credible follower of Christ, a proven spiritual leader, and accomplished leader in business.

More About Rick & Holly

Rick began as theco-founder of Betenbough Homes in 1992, Rick’s vision was to use fanatical cost control and “out-of-the-box” organizational systems to become the price leader for new brick homes in Lubbock, TX. He has matured a management and production system that combines quality and cost control through disciplined planning, negotiating and supervising.

For 24 years, Rick served as President of Betenbough Homes, having built nearly 7,000 homes for West Texas families. Early in 2016, he felt led to step aside from that role, allowing new leadership to continue to grow and lead the company and its employees.

Rick now serves as CEO of Cornerstone Business Holdings, the parent company of Betenbough Homes, where he pursues his passion for the advancement of God’s Kingdom in and through the marketplace.

Rick has a passion to mentor other kingdom-minded leaders and entrepreneurs, and walks his daily journey beside his loving wife, and childhood sweetheart, Holly. Together they have raised two children – James and Shannon.

Holly served as Ministry Director for Betenbough Homes for 12 years after having previously volunteered on the ministry team for 6 years. In 2016, she joined the Cornerstone Business Holdings Board of Directors, where she focuses on researching, investing and enhancing marketplace ministry outreach and development. Holly loves being with her family, walking outdoors, and learning new things about God. An alumna of Texas Tech University, she holds a bachelor of science in child development and family studies.

Historically the leadership of our Nation has turned to Almighty God for strength and guidance.

In this spirit, the United States Senate and the House of Representatives Breakfast Groups, which meet to deepen friendships, to pray and counsel together, inaugurated the National Prayer Breakfast to specifically seek the Lord's guidance and strength as well as to affirm our faith and to renew the dedication of our Nation and ourselves to God and His purposes. The Colorado Prayer Luncheon follows in this historical tradition.

At Sewall, a child's work is their play. Kids with all kinds of needs naturally look for answers to mysteries and challenges. Sewall wants to harness this wonder and build opportunities to further their students' desire to explore.

Our efforts will enable children with special needs to better play, learn, and grow.

Project Objectives:

Our focus will be to enhance the toddler playground at Sewall's main campus in the Congress Park neighborhood.
